My agent, who knows my adoration and affection for all things Enger, sent me this announcement this morning from Publisher’s Marketplace:

Leif Enger’s second novel SO BRAVE, YOUNG AND HANDSOME, a tale of passion and adventure in early 20th century America, about an aging train robber, pursued again after years of obscurity, seeking to reconcile the claims of love and judgment on his life, to Elisabeth Schmitz and Morgan Entrekin at Grove/Atlantic, for publication in early 2008, by Paul Cirone at Friedrich Agency.

I can’t WAIT!
